Bath re-enamelling in Clifton, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clifton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Clifton contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Clifton: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Clifton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
