Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bittadon
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Bittadon
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- 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

Related advice
Bittadon: your questions answered
Do you cover Bittadon?
We do. We send a technician to Bittadon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Bittadon
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Bittadon
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
