DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Bockhanger without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- 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 removes more of the surface.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths

- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

FAQs for Bockhanger
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
