How we handle bath re-enamelling in Herne Bay
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Herne Bay and across Kent.

Common problems we fix in Herne Bay
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?
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 entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Herne Bay
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Herne Bay?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Herne Bay. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Herne Bay?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CT6 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What affects the price in Herne Bay
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Herne Bay, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Herne Bay
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
