Bath re-enamelling in Stonehill Green without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stonehill Green and across Kent.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Stonehill Green: your questions answered
Do you come to Stonehill Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stonehill Green and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Stonehill Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Stonehill Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stonehill Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
