Bath re-enamelling in Irlams o' th' Height without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Irlams o' th' Height
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Irlams o' th' Height
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
