Bath re-enamelling in Howegreen, done in place
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. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Howegreen
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Howegreen?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM3 postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
