How we handle bath re-enamelling in Drakelow
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Drakelow. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
