Bath re-enamelling in Kelshall, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kelshall?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone

- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
