Bath re-enamelling in Chestnut Street, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Chestnut Street questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Chestnut Street.
What we are called out for in Chestnut Street
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath re-enamelling costs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chestnut Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
