Bath re-enamelling in Worth, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we are called out for in Worth

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Advice
FAQs for Worth
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Worth?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Worth and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
