About our bath re-enamelling in Old Basford
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add 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 photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Old Basford
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What we’re called out for in Old Basford

Common reasons people in Old Basford contact us are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
