Questions from Ayleford
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Ayleford. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
About our bath re-enamelling in Ayleford
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we’re called out for in Ayleford
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
