How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kelvindale
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kelvindale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelvindale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Kelvindale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Kelvindale
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kelvindale?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
