Bath Re-enamelling in Coat
Damaged bath in Coat? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Coat, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coat?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Coat
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Coat get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Coat
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Coat
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
