How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hastingleigh
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hastingleigh and across Kent.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hastingleigh
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

Questions from Hastingleigh
Do you come to Hastingleigh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hastingleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
