About our bath re-enamelling in Barr
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Barr
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Barr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Barr: your questions answered
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
More services for Barr
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Common problems we fix in Barr

Common reasons people in Barr contact us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
