Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Maypole, Kent
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Maypole and across Kent. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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 tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Maypole without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maypole use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Maypole
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Maypole: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Maypole
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
