Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alkham?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alkham
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. 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.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

- Normally one visit, start to finish

Questions from Alkham
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alkham. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Alkham
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Alkham. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
