Bath re-enamelling in Bonnington without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Bonnington questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you come to Bonnington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bonnington and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bonnington

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
