Bath re-enamelling in Claygate Cross without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Claygate Cross
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Questions from Claygate Cross
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Claygate Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
