Bath re-enamelling in Kingswood, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Kingswood questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kingswood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are 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 care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Kingswood

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
