Bath re-enamelling for Lullingstone homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Lullingstone, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lullingstone

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lullingstone?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DA4 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
