Bath re-enamelling at your home in Elvanfoot
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Elvanfoot
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
