About our bath re-enamelling in Kelvinhaugh
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kelvinhaugh?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise 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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Kelvinhaugh
- Cast iron baths

- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Kelvinhaugh?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
