Bath re-enamelling in Lime Kiln, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lime Kiln
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repairing versus replacing in Lime Kiln
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. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Lime Kiln questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Lime Kiln?
We do. Technicians travel to Lime Kiln from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
