How we handle bath re-enamelling in Meadle
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Meadle. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Meadle
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
