Bath re-enamelling in Newton Harcourt, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Newton Harcourt
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
