About our bath re-enamelling in Branthwaite
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Branthwaite: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Branthwaite?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Branthwaite?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Branthwaite. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Branthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
