Bath re-enamelling in Kingswood

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingswood

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingswood

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 depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we are called out for in Kingswood

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Kingswood: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kingswood?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WV7 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Kingswood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

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 any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
