Bath re-enamelling for Finglesham homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Finglesham

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Finglesham: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Finglesham?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are there extra charges for Finglesham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Finglesham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
