Bath re-enamelling at your home in Butcher's Common
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Butcher's Common
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit

Questions from Butcher's Common
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Butcher's Common?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butcher's Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
