Bath re-enamelling in Godmersham, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Godmersham questions

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Godmersham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When to call us in Godmersham

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Godmersham

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
