Bath re-enamelling in Kingsdown without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Kingsdown. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Kingsdown
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Kingsdown: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work in Kingsdown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kingsdown and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
