Bath re-enamelling in Shirkoak without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What else we do in Shirkoak
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Shirkoak
Do you work in Shirkoak?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shirkoak and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shirkoak?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Common problems we fix in Shirkoak
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shirkoak. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shirkoak. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Shirkoak
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
