Bath re-enamelling in Kenny Hill, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kenny Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kenny Hill

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repair or replace in Kenny Hill?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kenny Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Kenny Hill

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Kenny Hill

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
