Bath Re-enamelling in Kettlebaston
Problem with your bath in Kettlebaston? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kettlebaston
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Questions from Kettlebaston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
