How we handle bath re-enamelling in Deanland
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Deanland?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Deanland
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
