About our bath re-enamelling in Kenn
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Kenn. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kenn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
