Bath re-enamelling in Penshurst, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Questions from Penshurst
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Penshurst?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penshurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Penshurst get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Penshurst
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. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penshurst
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penshurst as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Penshurst. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
