What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Common questions in Knightsridge

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Common problems we fix in Knightsridge

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Knightsridge

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Knightsridge

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knightsridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
