How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandling
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandling as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Sandling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sandling. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandling
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Sandling
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
