Bath re-enamelling for Kirkby Green homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Green

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Kirkby Green questions

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Kirkby Green

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkby Green. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
