Bath re-enamelling in Milby, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Milby questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
