Bath re-enamelling in South Kilvington without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- We leave the room as we found it

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from South Kilvington
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to South Kilvington?
We do. We send a technician to South Kilvington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in South Kilvington
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to South Kilvington. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
