How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kempe's Corner
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kempe's Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kempe's Corner, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Kempe's Corner

Can pets and children be at home?

How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kempe's Corner
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Kempe's Corner
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
