Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ballhill
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ballhill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ballhill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
