How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Harlsey
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in East Harlsey
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for East Harlsey. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in East Harlsey and want a price, pictures 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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from East Harlsey
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- What happens if they find more damage

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why East Harlsey customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
