Bath re-enamelling near Dungeness

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dungeness

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Dungeness

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Dungeness. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Dungeness: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

When to call us in Dungeness

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
