How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingstone

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kingstone

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingstone

If you manage property in Kingstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Kingstone

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kingstone. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Kingstone?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
