Bath re-enamelling in Greenside without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Greenside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Greenside?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- What protection goes down before work starts

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Greenside
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Greenside
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
