The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Medomsley Edge questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Medomsley Edge?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
