How we handle bath re-enamelling in Etchinghill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Common problems we fix in Etchinghill
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Etchinghill: your questions answered
Do you cover Etchinghill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Etchinghill and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
