Bath re-enamelling near Guston

About our bath re-enamelling in Guston

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Guston

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Guston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Guston and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Guston. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Guston

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
