Bath re-enamelling in Hacklinge

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Hacklinge, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Hacklinge: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover Hacklinge?

We do. We send a technician to Hacklinge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Hacklinge?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hacklinge

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hacklinge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hacklinge. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Hacklinge

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hacklinge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Hacklinge

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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