Bath re-enamelling near Small Hythe

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Small Hythe: your questions answered

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Small Hythe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Most customers in Small Hythe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Small Hythe

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
