Bath re-enamelling in Knock without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Knock?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we work on in Knock

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knock

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
