Bath re-enamelling in Bartonsham, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bartonsham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bartonsham. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bartonsham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bartonsham?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
