Bath re-enamelling in Kirkby on Bain without replacing anything

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 work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Kirkby on Bain. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Kirkby on Bain

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.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Kirkby on Bain

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
