The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
FAQs for Derringstone
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Derringstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Derringstone and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Derringstone
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Derringstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Derringstone
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Derringstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
