About our bath re-enamelling in Gravesend
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gravesend. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gravesend, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
