About our bath re-enamelling in Southborough
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Southborough
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Southborough. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Common questions in Southborough
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Southborough
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
