About our bath re-enamelling in Fort Matilda
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Fort Matilda
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Questions from Fort Matilda
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Fort Matilda?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fort Matilda for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Fort Matilda, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
