Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sellindge, Kent
Damaged bath in Sellindge? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Sellindge without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Sellindge
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sellindge?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
