Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Crockham Hill, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crockham Hill. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Crockham Hill

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crockham Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
