Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ilsington
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilsington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Ilsington
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ilsington. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ilsington
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ilsington?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
