About our bath re-enamelling in Thanington
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Thanington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Thanington, 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Thanington questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thanington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. 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.
