Bath re-enamelling in Methersgate, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
