Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kendleshire
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kendleshire. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Kendleshire
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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 we’re called out for in Kendleshire
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Repair or replace in Kendleshire?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Kendleshire: your questions answered
Do you come to Kendleshire?
We do. Technicians travel to Kendleshire from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
