Bath Re-enamelling in Scragged Oak
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Scragged Oak, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Scragged Oak without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Scragged Oak
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Scragged Oak
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Scragged Oak
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scragged Oak. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common questions in Scragged Oak
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Scragged Oak?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME14 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
