Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cliffe
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cliffe and across Medway.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Cliffe
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Repairing versus replacing in Cliffe
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Cliffe
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
