Repair or replace in Rainham?
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 also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rainham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Rainham
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Rainham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RM13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rainham. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
