What affects the price in Lower Haysden

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Haysden. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Lower Haysden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Haysden

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Haysden and across Kent.

Common questions in Lower Haysden

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Lower Haysden and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Haysden

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Haysden

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Haysden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Haysden

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
