Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath re-enamelling in Blean without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Blean

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Blean

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Blean

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Blean?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
