Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Questions from Affetside
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Affetside.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Affetside?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BL8 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Affetside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Affetside
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What affects the price in Affetside
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
