Bath re-enamelling for Kingston Gorse homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Kingston Gorse

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Kingston Gorse

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Kingston Gorse: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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.

Are there extra charges for Kingston Gorse?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Kingston Gorse

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kingston Gorse. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
