Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brown Knowl
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brown Knowl
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What else we do in Brown Knowl
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
