Bath re-enamelling for Trottiscliffe homes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trottiscliffe

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.

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

Common questions in Trottiscliffe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Trottiscliffe. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Trottiscliffe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Trottiscliffe

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Trottiscliffe

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
