Repair or replace in Keycol?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Keycol. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Keycol
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Keycol and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Keycol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Keycol
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Keycol
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
