- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Milton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Milton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Milton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Milton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we’re called out for in Milton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
