Bath re-enamelling in Faversham

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Bath re-enamelling in Faversham without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Faversham

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Faversham. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Faversham

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover Faversham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Faversham and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Faversham

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
