Bath re-enamelling for Kingholm Quay homes

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingholm Quay?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

About our bath re-enamelling in Kingholm Quay

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For anyone letting property in or around Kingholm Quay, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Kingholm Quay?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
