Bath re-enamelling in Tonbridge

Bath re-enamelling in Tonbridge, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Tonbridge

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonbridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Tonbridge

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Tonbridge: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN9 postcode.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
