When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling in Nettlestead Green without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nettlestead Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairing versus replacing in Nettlestead Green
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Nettlestead Green
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Nettlestead Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
