Bath re-enamelling at your home in Yelsted
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Yelsted
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Yelsted
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Yelsted?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME9 postcode.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yelsted.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Yelsted
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
