Bath re-enamelling at your home in Melness
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melness
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Melness
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Melness get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Melness?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Melness
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are there extra charges for Melness?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
