Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Barn
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add 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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Barn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Barn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When to call us in New Barn
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
