How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kalliness
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. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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 check it carefully.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Kalliness
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kalliness
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

We do. We send a technician to Kalliness for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
