How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penenden Heath
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
When to call us in Penenden Heath

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What happens on the day

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
