Bath re-enamelling in Oad Street, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 generally cheaper.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oad Street

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Common problems we fix in Oad Street

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oad Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
