Bath re-enamelling in Drakeholes without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Drakeholes?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Drakeholes
Do you work in Drakeholes?
We do. We send a technician to Drakeholes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Drakeholes, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
