Bath re-enamelling in Chiddingstone Causeway without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Chiddingstone Causeway
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What we are called out for in Chiddingstone Causeway
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
