How we handle bath re-enamelling in Catton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Catton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Catton
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
