About our bath re-enamelling in Milton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Milton
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Milton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: 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, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
