About our bath re-enamelling in Flishinghurst
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Flishinghurst
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Flishinghurst: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Flishinghurst
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Flishinghurst
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
