Bath re-enamelling in Kenton, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kenton as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kenton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
