Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirklevington

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirklevington?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • Who will actually do the work

  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Kirklevington

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Kirklevington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kirklevington and the rest of Stockton-on-Tees. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
