Bath re-enamelling in Awkley, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Awkley. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
