The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Knightley Dale without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knightley Dale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knightley Dale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Knightley Dale

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the new finish last?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
