About our bath re-enamelling in Idbury
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Idbury: your questions answered

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Idbury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling last?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Idbury. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Idbury?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
