Bath re-enamelling in Nether Kellet, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Nether Kellet
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Nether Kellet
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nether Kellet. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
