Bath re-enamelling in Ringwould, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ringwould and across Kent.

Landlord and trade work in Ringwould
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ringwould as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ringwould. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
