About our bath re-enamelling in Otford
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Otford
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Otford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Otford
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. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Otford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Otford
- Pressed steel baths

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
FAQs for Otford
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Otford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN14 postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
