Bath re-enamelling in Knighton without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knighton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knighton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Knighton questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Knighton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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