Bath re-enamelling in Denshaw without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Denshaw
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Denshaw questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get 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 will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Denshaw
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
