Bath re-enamelling in Midlem, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Midlem?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Midlem
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD7 postcode.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Midlem. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
