Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When to call us in Kelham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Kelham
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NG23 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Kelham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kelham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
