Bath re-enamelling in New Romney without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

New Romney questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for New Romney. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Do you need bath re-enamelling in New Romney?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in New Romney

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why New Romney clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not 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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in New Romney

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
