Bath Re-enamelling in Borough Green
Our repair technicians come to Borough Green for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Borough Green, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Borough Green
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Borough Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Borough Green
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. 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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Questions from Borough Green
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
