Bath re-enamelling in Cliftonville, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

When to call us in Cliftonville
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cliftonville. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Cliftonville and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common questions in Cliftonville
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
