Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knedlington

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Knedlington

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you come to Knedlington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knedlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Knedlington.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knedlington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common problems we fix in Knedlington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
