Bath re-enamelling near Kippington

Repairing versus replacing in Kippington

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kippington

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Kippington

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Kippington

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Do you work in Kippington?

We do. We send a technician to Kippington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN13 postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, so Kippington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we are called out for in Kippington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
