Bath Re-enamelling for Elsworth homes
Problem with your bath in Elsworth? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our bath re-enamelling in Elsworth
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Elsworth. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsworth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in Elsworth
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches

FAQs for Elsworth
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Elsworth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elsworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Elsworth?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
