Bath re-enamelling in Seal

Bath re-enamelling in Seal without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Seal and across Kent.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seal

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seal as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Seal

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.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Seal?

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 TN15 postcode.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in Seal

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
