About our bath re-enamelling in Bicknor
We don’t 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 day after. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bicknor and across Kent.

Bicknor: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Bicknor?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common problems we fix in Bicknor
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Bicknor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
