Bath re-enamelling in Barnhill, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Barnhill
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barnhill
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
