Need bath re-enamelling in Sandwich?

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Sandwich

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sandwich. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandwich. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandwich

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • 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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Sandwich

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT13 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
