Bath re-enamelling in King's Park

Bath re-enamelling in King's Park without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in King's Park get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do I have to be there?

Will the new finish last?

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
