- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Crockenhill without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Crockenhill
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Crockenhill. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Crockenhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crockenhill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Crockenhill
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Crockenhill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Crockenhill and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
