About our bath re-enamelling in Artington
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Artington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Artington
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What else we do in Artington
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Artington
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
