How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkby
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Kirkby?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When to call us in Kirkby
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Kirkby: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
