What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bishopsbourne
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
Landlord and trade work in Bishopsbourne
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Bishopsbourne included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
