Bath re-enamelling in Broad Street, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broad Street and across Kent.

Common problems we fix in Broad Street
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
