Bath re-enamelling in Curborough without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Curborough
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Curborough questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Curborough?
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?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Curborough?
We do. Technicians travel to Curborough from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Curborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When to call us in Curborough

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Repairing versus replacing in Curborough

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WS13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
