Bath re-enamelling in Kentsboro

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kentsboro

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kentsboro

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Kentsboro included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairing versus replacing in Kentsboro

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kentsboro. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Kentsboro customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kentsboro

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

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

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentsboro use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
