About our bath re-enamelling in Kells
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kells and across Cumbria.

FAQs for Kells
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Kells
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Kells contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kells use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A fixed quote before you book
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Kells
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
