Bath re-enamelling in Batchworth Heath without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions from Batchworth Heath
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
