We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelvinbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kelvinbridge
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kelvinbridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Common questions in Kelvinbridge
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kelvinbridge. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Kelvinbridge
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
