DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath re-enamelling in Caunton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Caunton questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What we’re called out for in Caunton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone

- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Caunton. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caunton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
