Trusted bath re-enamelling in East Wickham

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Bath re-enamelling in East Wickham, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Wickham as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in East Wickham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Wickham

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you come to East Wickham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to East Wickham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

When to call us in East Wickham

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
