Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barton Seagrave
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Barton Seagrave
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
