Bath re-enamelling in Bay Horse, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bay Horse questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are there extra charges for Bay Horse?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
