Bath re-enamelling in Barton without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Barton?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Barton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

What affects the price in Barton
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
