Troy Town: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Troy Town?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Troy Town. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace in Troy Town?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When to call us in Troy Town
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
