Our repair technicians come to Castle Kennedy for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Castle Kennedy, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Castle Kennedy
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Castle Kennedy is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Castle Kennedy
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
