How we handle bath re-enamelling in Intake
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Intake
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Intake
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Intake
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Intake?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S12 postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
