If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brigsteer as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Brigsteer
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Brigsteer
Repairing versus replacing in Brigsteer
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Brigsteer questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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 the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
