Bath re-enamelling in Little Kimble

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Kimble

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Little Kimble

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Kimble

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Kimble. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Kimble

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work in Little Kimble?

We do. We send a technician to Little Kimble for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Little Kimble clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
