Bath re-enamelling in Barrack Hill without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Questions from Barrack Hill
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Barrack Hill
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
