About bath re-enamelling in Medway

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Medway?

Do you cover the whole of Medway?

We work UK-wide, so Medway is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Medway.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
