Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kingsmead
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Kingsmead: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Kingsmead?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kingsmead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Kingsmead
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kingsmead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
