Rochester Riverside questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you cover Rochester Riverside?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rochester Riverside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Bath re-enamelling in Rochester Riverside, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rochester Riverside

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rochester Riverside?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
