Bath re-enamelling in Brattle without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Brattle
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brattle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Brattle
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Brattle?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
