Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Handley
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

About our bath re-enamelling in Handley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Handley?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Handley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
