Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandway
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

- Acrylic baths

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Sandway
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sandway. The price reflects:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
