Bath re-enamelling at your home in Abbott Street
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Abbott Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
