Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Marden, Kent
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Marden, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in Marden
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Marden
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Marden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Marden
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
