How we handle bath re-enamelling in Arthingworth
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. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Arthingworth: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What affects the price in Arthingworth
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Arthingworth. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Arthingworth
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
