Bath re-enamelling in Snargate, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Snargate
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Snargate
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Snargate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
