Bath re-enamelling for Paglesham homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Paglesham

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Paglesham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
