Repair or replace in Keyham?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Keyham, 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. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Keyham
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Keyham questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Keyham?
We do. Technicians travel to Keyham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Keyham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What affects the price in Keyham
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Keyham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body

Materials we work on in Keyham
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
