Trusted bath re-enamelling in Kingston

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling in Kingston without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kingston and across Kent.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kingston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

When to call us in Kingston

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Kingston contact us are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
