Bath re-enamelling in Watt's Cross, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Watt's Cross?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Watt's Cross: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Watt's Cross and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Watt's Cross
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in Watt's Cross
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
