Bath re-enamelling in Smarden Bell, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smarden Bell
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smarden Bell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Smarden Bell?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Common questions in Smarden Bell
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

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. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
