Bath Re-enamelling in Buttsole
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Buttsole, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Buttsole
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Buttsole
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buttsole, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Buttsole
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Buttsole
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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Buttsole?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
