Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Maxton, Kent
Problem with your bath in Maxton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- 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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Maxton without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Maxton questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Maxton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Maxton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Repairing versus replacing in Maxton
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Maxton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
