Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we are called out for in Kilndown
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.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Repairing versus replacing in Kilndown
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kilndown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
