Bath re-enamelling in Kimbolton

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kimbolton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kimbolton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Kimbolton

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
