Questions from Bethersden
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Bethersden
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
