How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flimwell
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 pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Flimwell as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from Flimwell
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Flimwell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN5 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Flimwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Flimwell?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
