Bath re-enamelling in Barnstone without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barnstone and across Nottinghamshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barnstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Barnstone questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Barnstone
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
