Bath re-enamelling in Catbrook without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Catbrook
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Other services in Catbrook
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
