About our bath re-enamelling in Kilmington
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilmington
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we are called out for in Kilmington
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Kilmington: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kilmington.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

What else we do in Kilmington
Landlord and trade work in Kilmington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
