Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sevenoaks
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sevenoaks and across Kent.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Sevenoaks
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

Is my repair covered?
