Bath re-enamelling in Castle without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Castle
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Castle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Castle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Castle?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Castle. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Castle, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
