Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirkby Underwood
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Kirkby Underwood
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Underwood?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Kirkby Underwood?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kirkby Underwood.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What else we do in Kirkby Underwood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Kirkby Underwood

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repair or replace in Kirkby Underwood?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
