Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kelton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days

FAQs for Kelton
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kelton and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kelton. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Kelton
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
