How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clestrain
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Clestrain
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clestrain.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Clestrain
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
