Do you need bath re-enamelling in Midway?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Midway
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Midway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace in Midway?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Midway
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Midway
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Midway use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
