Bath Re-enamelling for Old Cantley homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Old Cantley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath re-enamelling in Old Cantley, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Old Cantley. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Cantley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Old Cantley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Cantley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Old Cantley
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
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 price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
