Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Neames Forstal, Kent
Our repair technicians come to Neames Forstal for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Neames Forstal
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Neames Forstal: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Neames Forstal
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site
