Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Kingsdown, Wiltshire
We travel to Kingsdown for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Common problems we fix in Kingsdown
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

About our bath re-enamelling in Kingsdown
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What affects the price in Kingsdown
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Kingsdown
Does someone need to be in?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
