How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dean Street

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Dean Street

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

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Repair or replace in Dean Street?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Dean Street

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dean Street

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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 the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
