How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coryton
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Coryton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Coryton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What we are called out for in Coryton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Coryton: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
