Bath Re-enamelling for Lashenden homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Lashenden: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling in Lashenden without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lashenden?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lashenden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Lashenden
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Lashenden?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
