- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Barton
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairing versus replacing in Barton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Barton: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When to call us in Barton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
