Bath re-enamelling at your home in Uplees

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Common questions in Uplees

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Uplees

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
