How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bardowie
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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 until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Bardowie
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bardowie
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
