Bath Re-enamelling for Kirby Knowle homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Kirby Knowle: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most customers in Kirby Knowle get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirby Knowle
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Kirby Knowle: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Kirby Knowle?
We do. We send a technician to Kirby Knowle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kirby Knowle?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Kirby Knowle
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
