Bath re-enamelling in Headon, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Headon
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Headon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
