- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairing versus replacing in Beckhithe

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Beckhithe
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR9 postcode.
