- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include

- Who will actually do the work
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shorne
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for 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’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Shorne: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Shorne included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Shorne. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
