Bath re-enamelling in Pittswood without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Pittswood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Our work in Pittswood
Pittswood is about 2 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Pittswood is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Pittswood to London (26 miles away).
We work across TN11 and the streets around it. You will find streets such as High House Lane and Ashes Lane, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover include Parker's Green (1 mile south), Hadlow (1 mile east), Golden Green (2 miles south-east), Dunk's Green (2 miles north) and Roughway (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Maidstone (10 miles east), Sevenoaks (7 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (7 miles south), Gravesend (14 miles north), Northfleet (14 miles north) and Swanley (13 miles north-west).

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pittswood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pittswood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What else we do in Pittswood
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Pittswood
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What affects the price in Pittswood
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pittswood. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
