The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
