Bath re-enamelling in Little Kelk without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Little Kelk

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What we’re called out for in Little Kelk

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Little Kelk contact us are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Little Kelk

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Kelk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
