Bath re-enamelling for Brandfold homes

Bath re-enamelling in Brandfold without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Brandfold

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we’re called out for in Brandfold

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Brandfold

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
