About our bath re-enamelling in Farningham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Farningham

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

FAQs for Farningham

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be fumes?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
