Bath re-enamelling for Sevenoaks Weald homes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Sevenoaks Weald, done in place

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. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Sevenoaks Weald

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Sevenoaks Weald is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Repair or replace in Sevenoaks Weald?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sevenoaks Weald

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
