About our bath re-enamelling in Hale Barns
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hale Barns as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Hale Barns
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
