Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in Kemsing, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kemsing
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kemsing use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kemsing. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When to call us in Kemsing
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
