Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Ellel, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Ellel: your questions answered
Do you work in Ellel?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ellel for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Ellel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ellel?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
