Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knockholt
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Knockholt questions
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Knockholt and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Knockholt?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Knockholt?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
