How we handle bath re-enamelling in Baliscate
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Baliscate
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 else we do in Baliscate
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Baliscate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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 is the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Baliscate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baliscate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
