About our bath re-enamelling in Brampton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Brampton
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.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

FAQs for Brampton
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
There is 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’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
