How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bleadney
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Bleadney
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Bleadney?
We do. We send a technician to Bleadney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we’re called out for in Bleadney
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
