Bath re-enamelling in Chartham Hatch without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Chartham Hatch: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover Chartham Hatch?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Chartham Hatch. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
