How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingsdown
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Kingsdown questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kingsdown. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
