Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site

Bath re-enamelling in Darenth without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Darenth
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Darenth. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Darenth questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Darenth?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Darenth.
What happens next?

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Darenth
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Darenth
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Darenth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
