How we handle bath re-enamelling in Smeeth
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Smeeth
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Smeeth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Smeeth
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smeeth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally 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 leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Smeeth
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Smeeth?
We do. We send a technician to Smeeth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
