Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kenardington
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Other services in Kenardington
Kenardington: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kenardington.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Kenardington
- Cast iron baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in Kenardington?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
