Bath re-enamelling in Kingston Maurward

Bath re-enamelling in Kingston Maurward without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Kingston Maurward

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Kingston Maurward questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Kingston Maurward is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are there extra charges for Kingston Maurward?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kingston Maurward

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’re refitting the whole 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 we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
