Bath re-enamelling in Tunbridge Hill

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunbridge Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Tunbridge Hill, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tunbridge Hill. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tunbridge Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Tunbridge Hill

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Tunbridge Hill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Medway.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the whole of Medway?

Everywhere in the UK, Tunbridge Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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