Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlord and trade work in Kingston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Kingston

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingston?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Kingston

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
