FAQs for Aldington
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Are there extra charges for Aldington?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aldington
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body

What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Aldington
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Aldington
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Aldington?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
