Bath re-enamelling near Biddenden

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Biddenden

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Biddenden

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Biddenden questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you come to Biddenden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Biddenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
