Bath re-enamelling at your home in Greendykes
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Greendykes
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
