About our bath re-enamelling in Elton
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. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Elton questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Elton.
Are there extra charges for Elton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Elton?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Elton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Elton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Elton

- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
