How we handle bath re-enamelling in Haldens
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Haldens
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Haldens
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
