Bath re-enamelling in Briery without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Briery?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white

What happens on the day
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 a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Briery
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Briery?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
