Bath re-enamelling in Kirtling Green without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kirtling Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Kirtling Green
Repairing versus replacing in Kirtling Green
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirtling Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirtling Green. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common questions in Kirtling Green
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Kirtling Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
