How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirstead Green

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Questions from Kirstead Green

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Kirstead Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
