Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

About our bath re-enamelling in Hawley

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hawley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hawley?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Hawley: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Hawley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, 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. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
