Bath re-enamelling at your home in Canton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Canton as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Canton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Canton
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
