Common problems we fix in Kingswood

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Kingswood, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kingswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Kingswood?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Kingswood

Kingswood: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kingswood?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • 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. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
