Bath re-enamelling in Wittersham

Bath re-enamelling in Wittersham, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wittersham

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Wittersham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wittersham.

Which areas do you work in?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wittersham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace in Wittersham?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
