About our bath re-enamelling in Old Deer
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Deer
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Deer use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Old Deer
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work

Old Deer: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
