Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Drayton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done 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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Common questions in East Drayton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?
We cover the entire UK, including East Drayton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Drayton.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When to call us in East Drayton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
