Bath re-enamelling in Little Parndon without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Little Parndon
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Parndon, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350.
