Bath re-enamelling at your home in Belses
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Belses
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Belses?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
