Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Kingsgate, Kent

Bath re-enamelling in Kingsgate, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Kingsgate
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsgate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
Most clients in Kingsgate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Kingsgate
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingsgate
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
