Bath Re-enamelling in Burton upon Trent
Bath re-enamelling across Burton upon Trent and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Burton upon Trent without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
FAQs for Burton upon Trent
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Burton upon Trent?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
