Bath re-enamelling in Barney, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barney
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Barney?
We do. We send a technician to Barney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Barney, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
