Bath re-enamelling for Knowle homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

About our bath re-enamelling in Knowle

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Knowle

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Knowle

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
