About our bath re-enamelling in Kingshall Street
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kingshall Street as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingshall Street?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Landlord and trade work in Kingshall Street
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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 won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Kingshall Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

FAQs for Kingshall Street
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kingshall Street?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP30 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Kingshall Street?
We do. We send a technician to Kingshall Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
