Bath re-enamelling in Kersey, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Kersey: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Jobs in IP7 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on The Street, The Green and Church Hill or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Kersey
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kersey. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
