What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
About our bath re-enamelling in Keir Mill
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Keir Mill
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
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 generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Keir Mill
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
