About our bath re-enamelling in Patrixbourne
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Patrixbourne
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, 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.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Patrixbourne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Patrixbourne
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Patrixbourne
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work in Patrixbourne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Patrixbourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
