Bath Re-enamelling for South Kirkby homes
We travel to South Kirkby for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath re-enamelling in South Kirkby without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Kirkby as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Kirkby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Kirkby?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to South Kirkby. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Kirkby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
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 renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in South Kirkby
