About our bath re-enamelling in Daddry Shield
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Daddry Shield?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
