Trusted bath re-enamelling in Knotting Green

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knotting Green

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Knotting Green?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Knotting Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Knotting Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Knotting Green

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

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

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your MK44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
