How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barwick
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. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Barwick
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Barwick.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barwick
If you manage property in Barwick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barwick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Barwick
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
