How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clatterford End
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Clatterford End
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t 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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 Clatterford End
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Clatterford End
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Clatterford End

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clatterford End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
