Bath re-enamelling near Kingswells

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kingswells

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. 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 acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Kingswells

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Are there extra charges for Kingswells?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Kingswells

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Kingswells

For anyone letting property in or around Kingswells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kingswells

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

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.
