Bath re-enamelling in Northbourne, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
