Bath re-enamelling in Knowlton without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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. 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.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Knowlton
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Knowlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowlton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
