How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lydd

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lydd and across Kent.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What else we do in Lydd
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Lydd, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Lydd
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lydd?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Across the UK, so Lydd is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
