Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barnsole
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Barnsole
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace in Barnsole?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barnsole?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
