Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandwich Bay Estate

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwich Bay Estate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Sandwich Bay Estate

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When to call us in Sandwich Bay Estate

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
