Bath Re-enamelling in Chevening
Damaged bath in Chevening? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chevening
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. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Chevening questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chevening
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
