On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Old Moat
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Moat as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Old Moat, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Old Moat
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Repairing versus replacing in Old Moat
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Moat. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
