A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Other services in Aldham
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Aldham
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aldham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
