Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Thurnham, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Thurnham

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Thurnham and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Thurnham. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Thurnham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Thurnham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Thurnham

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price
