DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Bank Hey
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bank Hey. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
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 without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Bank Hey questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?
The whole UK, including all of Blackburn with Darwen. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
