Bath re-enamelling in Hextable without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hextable and across Kent.

Hextable questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hextable?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hextable use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
