Bath re-enamelling in Colburn without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Colburn questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Colburn.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What else we do in Colburn
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Colburn. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Colburn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Colburn?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
