Bath re-enamelling in Garlinge, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Garlinge questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Garlinge. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Garlinge
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Garlinge clients choose us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Garlinge?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
