How we handle bath re-enamelling in Throwley

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Throwley

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Throwley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Throwley and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Throwley?

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

Landlord and trade work in Throwley

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Throwley

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Throwley

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Throwley. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
