We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Questions from Harcombe Bottom
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back

Landlord and trade work in Harcombe Bottom

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
