Bath re-enamelling at your home in Forgeside
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Forgeside. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Most customers in Forgeside get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Forgeside
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions from Forgeside
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Forgeside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
