About our bath re-enamelling in Pegwell

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Pegwell

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pegwell

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairing versus replacing in Pegwell

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlord and trade work in Pegwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Pegwell, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
