Bath re-enamelling in Ainley Top

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Ainley Top, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through

What we are called out for in Ainley Top

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
