About our bath re-enamelling in Mill End
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mill End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WD3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Mill End
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Mill End
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
