Bath re-enamelling at your home in Richborough Port
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Richborough Port?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Richborough Port
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Richborough Port?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Richborough Port included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Common problems we fix in Richborough Port
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
