Bath re-enamelling in Slutshole, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Slutshole

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Repair or replace in Slutshole?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

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

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Slutshole

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Slutshole

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Slutshole. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Slutshole, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
