- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barbon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
