The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Forest Town without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Forest Town
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

- Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Forest Town. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Forest Town, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
