Barton: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Everywhere in the UK, Barton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Barton without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
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 a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Barton
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
