Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Whitfield, Kent

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Whitfield without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitfield
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What affects the price in Whitfield
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitfield. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Whitfield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Whitfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
