Bath re-enamelling in Chalk, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Chalk
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalk
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Where we work around Chalk
Chalk is about 1 mile east of Gravesend, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Chalk or on the outskirts, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Chalk is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Chalk to London (about 22 miles away).
Jobs in DA12 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on Chalk Road, Castle Lane and Orlick Road. We also cover the places around Chalk: Upper Ifield (1 mile south), Thong (1 mile south), Shorne (1 mile south-east), Shorne Ridgeway (2 miles south-east) and Higham (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Maidstone (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles south-east), Dartford (8 miles west), Sevenoaks (14 miles south-west), Northfleet (3 miles west) and Swanley (10 miles west).
Near you in Chalk
We visit homes around Church of St Mary, St John's Catholic Comprehensive and Westcourt Primary School. Other local landmarks include Thamesview School (0.7 miles south-west) and Shorne Woods Country Park (1.9 miles south). Chalk’s nearest station is Gravesend station, roughly 2 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Rochester Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and Gravesham Museum (1.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Gad's Hill and Rede Common.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chalk?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
