What affects the price in Newingreen

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Newingreen, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newingreen

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newingreen use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

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’s the part we put right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newingreen

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newingreen?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Newingreen

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
