Bath re-enamelling at your home in Payden Street

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Payden Street and across Kent.

Common questions in Payden Street

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Do you work in Payden Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Payden Street. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Payden Street?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Payden Street

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Payden Street. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Payden Street

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. 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 jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlord and trade work in Payden Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Payden Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
