Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

About our bath re-enamelling in East Hill

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in East Hill

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in East Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in East Hill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
