What do you need from me?

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Broad Tenterden, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broad Tenterden
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Broad Tenterden
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace in Broad Tenterden?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
