Bath re-enamelling for Hinxhill Park homes

Bath re-enamelling in Hinxhill Park, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hinxhill Park and across Kent.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hinxhill Park. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hinxhill Park

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hinxhill Park. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Hinxhill Park: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
