How we handle bath re-enamelling in Key Green
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Key Green
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW12 postcode.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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’s the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
In fairness, 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Key Green
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
