Repair or replace in Lordswood?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lordswood

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lordswood

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Medway?

All of Medway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME5 postcode.

What affects the price in Lordswood

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
