Bath re-enamelling in Coxheath, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use 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.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. 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 look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
If you’re in Coxheath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Coxheath questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
