Bath re-enamelling in Appledore, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Appledore questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Appledore?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appledore use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What we’re called out for in Appledore
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Appledore
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Appledore. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
