Bath re-enamelling in Millerston, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Millerston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Millerston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for Millerston
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
