Trusted bath re-enamelling in Broadstairs

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broadstairs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Bath re-enamelling in Broadstairs, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Broadstairs

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadstairs as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

FAQs for Broadstairs

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Broadstairs?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Broadstairs included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Broadstairs

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
