Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Plaxtol

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Plaxtol
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Plaxtol
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What affects the price in Plaxtol
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Plaxtol. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Plaxtol?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
