Bath re-enamelling near Westbere

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are 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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Westbere

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Westbere questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

When to call us in Westbere

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
