Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Bath re-enamelling in Adber, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Adber
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Adber?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Adber.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Adber?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
