Bath re-enamelling for St Nicholas at Wade homes

Bath re-enamelling in St Nicholas at Wade, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

What we are called out for in St Nicholas at Wade

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

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Questions from St Nicholas at Wade

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
