Bath Re-enamelling in Maker
Bath re-enamelling in and around Maker: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath re-enamelling in Maker, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Maker
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Maker
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Maker
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
