FAQs for Wilsley Pound
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK, so Wilsley Pound is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What else we do in Wilsley Pound
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilsley Pound
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Wilsley Pound, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Wilsley Pound
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Repairing versus replacing in Wilsley Pound
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
