Knockholt Pound: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you cover Knockholt Pound?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Knockholt Pound. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Knockholt Pound
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Knockholt Pound get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
