What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Barming Heath. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Barming Heath: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME16 postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

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’s the part we put right.

What we are called out for in Barming Heath

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
