  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Goathurst Common

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Goathurst Common

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Goathurst Common?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

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.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
