Trusted bath re-enamelling in Murston

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Murston, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Murston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Murston questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Murston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Murston

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

What we’re called out for in Murston

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
