How we handle bath re-enamelling in Castleton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Castleton as everywhere else we work.

Castleton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Castleton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Castleton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Castleton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Castleton
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
