How we handle bath re-enamelling in Irnham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Irnham
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG33 postcode.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Irnham
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
