How we handle bath re-enamelling in Frittenden

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Frittenden

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frittenden

For anyone letting property in or around Frittenden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Frittenden

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Frittenden?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN17 postcode.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Repair or replace in Frittenden?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
