About our bath re-enamelling in Knapp

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work in Knapp?

Do I need to be at home?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Knapp?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving 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 you book, with no extras added later.

Why Knapp customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
