Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Atherington
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Atherington
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Atherington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Atherington
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Atherington?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX37 postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
