Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Greencroft
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Greencroft. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Greencroft
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Greencroft
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
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.
