Bath re-enamelling in Braithwaite without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Braithwaite
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Braithwaite?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Braithwaite
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Braithwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
