Bath re-enamelling in Smarden, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Smarden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Smarden
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work in Smarden?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smarden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
What affects the price in Smarden
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Smarden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Smarden?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
