Bath re-enamelling in Kelton Hill, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Kelton Hill
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Kelton Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kelton Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Kelton Hill questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
