How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holtridge
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. 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. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Holtridge
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again

- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holtridge
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Holtridge included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Holtridge?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SY13 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Holtridge.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
