Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Langley, Kent
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Langley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Langley without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Langley questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Langley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Langley. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
