Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milburn
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Milburn
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are there extra charges for Milburn?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
