How to care for the repair

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Kew Highway

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Kew Highway as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in St Kew Highway

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a smell?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL30 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
