Bath re-enamelling at your home in Way

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Way as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Way. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

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 price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Way?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Way

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Way and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Way

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Way

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
