How we handle bath re-enamelling in Strood
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
Repair or replace in Strood?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Strood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the new finish 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.
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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures 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 will get a fixed figure back.
