Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hoo St Werburgh
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Hoo St Werburgh
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Hoo St Werburgh
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hoo St Werburgh?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
