Bath Re-enamelling in Kimblesworth
We travel to Kimblesworth for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Kimblesworth
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Kimblesworth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
