Bath re-enamelling in Abinger, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Abinger
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Abinger. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Abinger get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
FAQs for Abinger
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repairing versus replacing in Abinger
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
