What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Nash
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Nash
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Nash
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Nash is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
