Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kimpton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What affects the price in Kimpton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kimpton. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kimpton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
