Bath re-enamelling in Beeswing, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Beeswing

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Beeswing. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
