DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Budds, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Budds?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Budds. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Budds
- Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
