No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK, so Rough Common is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Rough Common?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rough Common
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Rough Common?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why Rough Common clients choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Rough Common
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Rough Common. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Rough Common
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
