About our bath re-enamelling in Cliffe Common

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are 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 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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cliffe Common?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cliffe Common. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

FAQs for Cliffe Common

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cliffe Common?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
