Bath re-enamelling at your home in Keyhead
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Keyhead
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Keyhead. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Keyhead: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you work in Keyhead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Keyhead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Keyhead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Keyhead
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
