The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lynsore Bottom?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What affects the price in Lynsore Bottom
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lynsore Bottom. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
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
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Lynsore Bottom
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lynsore Bottom
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
