About our bath re-enamelling in Wateringbury

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Wateringbury

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
