Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Baltasound
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Baltasound?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350.

What we are called out for in Baltasound
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
