Bath re-enamelling in Handley, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we can’t put right

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Handley
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Handley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Handley
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Handley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
