About our bath re-enamelling in Haine

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Haine

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Haine

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
