Landlords, agents and businesses in Kennford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Kennford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Bath re-enamelling in Kennford without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Kennford
Do you work in Kennford?
We do. We send a technician to Kennford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kennford. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common problems we fix in Kennford
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches

What else we do in Kennford
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
