About our bath re-enamelling in Bottoms
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bottoms. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Bottoms and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Bottoms
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bottoms.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TR19 postcode.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Bottoms
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
