Bath re-enamelling in Bluetown, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What affects the price in Bluetown
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Bluetown
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Bluetown
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bluetown questions
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Bluetown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bluetown. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
