About our bath re-enamelling in Waldershare

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Waldershare

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Waldershare?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Waldershare

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
