Bath re-enamelling in Wormshill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wormshill

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found 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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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.

Common questions in Wormshill

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you work in Wormshill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wormshill and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Wormshill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Wormshill?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wormshill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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