Bath Re-enamelling in Candy Mill
Local bath re-enamelling for Candy Mill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Candy Mill without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Candy Mill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Candy Mill
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Candy Mill?
We do. Technicians travel to Candy Mill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

What we’re called out for in Candy Mill
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
