Bath re-enamelling in Kirkland without replacing anything

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. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

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:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkland

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Kirkland get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Kirkland: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work in Kirkland?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kirkland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
