Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Kingstone
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we’re called out for in Kingstone
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Kingstone?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
