Bath re-enamelling near Hazel Street

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hazel Street

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Hazel Street questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hazel Street. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Hazel Street

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hazel Street

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Hazel Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
