Bath Re-enamelling in Keekle
Damaged bath in Keekle? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Keekle, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, 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 photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
