Bath re-enamelling at your home in Garvald
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Garvald
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Garvald
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH41 postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Repairing versus replacing in Garvald
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. 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.
What you get with us
