Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hoath

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hoath

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hoath questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hoath.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace in Hoath?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Hoath

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hoath. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
