Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

What else we do in Melton
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Melton
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Melton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
