When to call us in Strood

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Strood: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats

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 make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
