Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chelsfield

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chelsfield

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chelsfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Chelsfield customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Chelsfield: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you work in Chelsfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chelsfield and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Chelsfield

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote
