Bath re-enamelling near North Kilworth

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Kilworth

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in North Kilworth

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we work on in North Kilworth

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for North Kilworth

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in North Kilworth?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
