Bath re-enamelling in Gravesend

Bath re-enamelling in Gravesend, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gravesend. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gravesend, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

Gravesend: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Gravesend?

What areas do you cover?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
