Bath re-enamelling in Morebattle, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Morebattle?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Morebattle
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Morebattle
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Morebattle. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Morebattle
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
