Bath re-enamelling in Kentrigg, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Kentrigg questions
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentrigg
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
