Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Catton?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Old Catton contact us are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches

- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Questions from Old Catton
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Old Catton. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Old Catton
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Old Catton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
