How we handle bath re-enamelling in Meerhay
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Meerhay
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Meerhay
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Meerhay
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure

What happens after I send photos?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
