How we handle bath re-enamelling in Castle Quarter
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Castle Quarter
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Castle Quarter
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Castle Quarter questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Castle Quarter?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Castle Quarter. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Castle Quarter?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What affects the price in Castle Quarter
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
