Bath Re-enamelling for Balado homes
Our technicians come to Balado for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything

About our bath re-enamelling in Balado
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Balado
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balado use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in Balado
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to look after the finish
Balado questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Balado. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
