Bath re-enamelling in Kneesall, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kneesall

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Questions from Kneesall

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
