About our bath re-enamelling in Kenley
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kenley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kenley. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kenley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kenley?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
