After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lenham Forstal

Repairing versus replacing in Lenham Forstal
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lenham Forstal. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lenham Forstal. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Lenham Forstal: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
