Bath re-enamelling in Hearnden Green

Bath re-enamelling in Hearnden Green without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hearnden Green

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hearnden Green

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early

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, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
