Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Newington, Kent
Bath re-enamelling across Newington and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newington
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Newington
What affects the price in Newington
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Newington. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace in Newington?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
