Does anyone know if Simplex Tea Kettles can be retinned as the manufacturer from England hasn't replied to my inquiry? :confused:

Looks like you can buy them right off Amazon as well as Sur La Table's website. Does that help?

No! Since noone seems to know if they can be retinned. Inquiries have been emailed to Fantes as well as to Simplex/England. Presently awaiting replie(s).

Ugg I am an idiot I did not read your post correctly (I am a skimmer). I wonder how often they would need to be re-tinned?

I don't have any direct experience, but I imagine they can be retinned since pretty much anything that can be tinned can be retinned. There are several retinners spread across the country, why not contact one? As a side benefit, a retinner will hammer out any dents and polish out the kettle so it looks like new.

Done business with Rocky Mountain Retinning and they're definitely tops. A+++ NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! And I mean it. My 12qt Mauviel hand hammered stockpot came back looking brand new and within 15 minutes at Craigslist I sold it for a whopping $550 plus s&h!!!!

So did you ever find out if Rocky Mountain would re-tin the tea kettle?

Someone at Fantes stated that the kettles can, indeed, be retinned.
