Bath Re-enamelling for Eltringham homes
Our technicians come to Eltringham for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eltringham
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Eltringham
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Eltringham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

Can I add another job to the visit?

Is a repair better than a new one?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
