Bath re-enamelling in Speldhurst

How to look after the repair

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

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Speldhurst

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TN3 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
