About our bath re-enamelling in Barton Hill
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Barton Hill
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Barton Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
