Bath re-enamelling in Kingston

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kingston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our bath re-enamelling in Kingston

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Kingston

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Kingston questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Kingston is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix

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
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
