Bath re-enamelling for Chainhurst homes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chainhurst

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chainhurst?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Chainhurst

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Chainhurst?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Questions from Chainhurst

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
