About our bath re-enamelling in Kingsfold
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsfold
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Kingsfold, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
