Bath re-enamelling at your home in Greenholme
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Greenholme
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Greenholme
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Greenholme
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Greenholme. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
