Bath re-enamelling for Pollhill homes

Bath re-enamelling in Pollhill without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pollhill and across Kent.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Pollhill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Pollhill

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pollhill

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Pollhill and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
