Bath re-enamelling in Kingsland without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsland

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingsland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Kingsland

Kingsland questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover Kingsland?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kingsland and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Kingsland?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingsland?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
