How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knutton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Common problems we fix in Knutton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Knutton contact us are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Knutton questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
