How we handle bath re-enamelling in Medlam
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlord and trade work in Medlam

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Medlam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
