Bath re-enamelling in Barton-upon-Humber without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Roll-top and period baths

Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Barton-upon-Humber
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Barton-upon-Humber. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
