Bath re-enamelling in Rolvenden Layne, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rolvenden Layne and across Kent.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Rolvenden Layne. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Rolvenden Layne?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Rolvenden Layne

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rolvenden Layne

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Common questions in Rolvenden Layne

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for Rolvenden Layne?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in Rolvenden Layne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rolvenden Layne and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
