How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chatham Green
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Chatham Green: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Chatham Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chatham Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Chatham Green clients choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Chatham Green
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Chatham Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
