Bath re-enamelling in Arniston without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Arniston questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Arniston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Arniston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Arniston
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
