Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Stretton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Great Stretton
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Great Stretton
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
