Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling in Chatham Waterfront without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Chatham Waterfront

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

What affects the price in Chatham Waterfront

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chatham Waterfront. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chatham Waterfront. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Chatham Waterfront

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chatham Waterfront?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chatham Waterfront

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chatham Waterfront?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME4 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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