Bath re-enamelling in Ash

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ash

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Ash questions

Do you work in Ash?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ash and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ash?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ash as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ash

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
