Bath re-enamelling in Bitchet Green

Bath re-enamelling in Bitchet Green, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bitchet Green. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bitchet Green

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Bitchet Green. Prices do not change with location.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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