Bath re-enamelling near Frindsbury

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frindsbury

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Frindsbury?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

Common questions in Frindsbury

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the whole of Medway?

The entire UK, including all of Medway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Frindsbury

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
