Bath re-enamelling in Manston

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Bath re-enamelling in Manston without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Manston?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Manston: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Manston

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
