After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Kingstone

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kingstone.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Kingstone and the rest of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S70 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in Kingstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most customers in Kingstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Kingstone

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
