Bath re-enamelling in Mark Hall North, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 photos.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Mark Hall North and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mark Hall North?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions from Mark Hall North
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
