About our bath re-enamelling in Brabourne
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brabourne and across Kent.

What we are called out for in Brabourne
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
