How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Kingston
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from New Kingston
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in New Kingston
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Kingston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Kingston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
