Bath re-enamelling in Old Tree, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Old Tree
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Victorian roll-tops

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Old Tree?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Tree
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
