About our bath re-enamelling in Paddock Wood

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Paddock Wood and across Kent.

Repair or replace in Paddock Wood?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Paddock Wood clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Paddock Wood

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Paddock Wood

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Paddock Wood. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Paddock Wood and want a price, pictures 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
