Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sidcup

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sidcup as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Sidcup questions

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you cover Sidcup?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sidcup. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are you accredited?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

What affects the price in Sidcup

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Sidcup

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

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.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.
