Bath re-enamelling in Balderton without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Balderton
When to call us in Balderton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
Common questions in Balderton
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Balderton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Balderton?

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
