Bath re-enamelling at your home in Billingsley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Billingsley: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
