About our bath re-enamelling in Bilstone
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bilstone. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bilstone?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Bilstone
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
