How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingsand

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kingsand. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Kingsand?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Kingsand

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL10 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
