Bath re-enamelling in Bitterscote without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Bitterscote?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bitterscote questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we’re called out for in Bitterscote
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Bitterscote contact us are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
