How we handle bath re-enamelling in Draethen
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

What else we do in Draethen
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Draethen questions
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Draethen.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Draethen
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
