Bath re-enamelling near West Kingston

Bath re-enamelling in West Kingston without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Kingston as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in West Kingston

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in West Kingston

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for West Kingston

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

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Kingston.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What your bath is made of matters

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 pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in West Kingston

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
