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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Braunston-in-Rutland, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Braunston-in-Rutland
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
