Bath Re-enamelling for Rusthall homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Rusthall, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rusthall
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Rusthall
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rusthall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rusthall
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Rusthall
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
