What we are called out for in Kingsmead

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling in Kingsmead without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Kingsmead: your questions answered

What happens next?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kingsmead?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bath and North East Somerset.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsmead

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kingsmead. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingsmead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
