Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hildenborough
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Hildenborough
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Hildenborough?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hildenborough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Hildenborough
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hildenborough as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hildenborough?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Repairing versus replacing in Hildenborough

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hildenborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
