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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hunters Forstal

We do not 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. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hunters Forstal. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you are in Hunters Forstal and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Hunters Forstal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hunters Forstal?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Hunters Forstal

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Hunters Forstal?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hunters Forstal and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repair or replace in Hunters Forstal?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

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