About our bath re-enamelling in Emscote
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Emscote?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Emscote. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Emscote questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Emscote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Emscote. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
If you are in Emscote and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
