Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ram Lane

Bath re-enamelling in Ram Lane without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Ram Lane

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ram Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Ram Lane

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ram Lane

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
