Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kingsdon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingsdon?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kingsdon
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kingsdon.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
