About our bath re-enamelling in Etterby
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Etterby as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Etterby
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Etterby. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Etterby?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Etterby: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
