Bath re-enamelling in Holwell, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Holwell
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holwell. 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
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Holwell. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
