About our bath re-enamelling in Garth
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Garth
Repair or replace in Garth?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Garth. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Garth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Garth
Are there extra charges for Garth?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Garth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Garth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
