About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Rainham
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Rainham and across Medway.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Rainham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Lower Rainham clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Lower Rainham
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Everywhere in the UK, Lower Rainham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Rainham. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
