Bath re-enamelling in Battersby without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What else we do in Battersby
Landlord and trade work in Battersby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Battersby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Battersby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Battersby
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Battersby
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
