Bath Re-enamelling for Old homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Old: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Old without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Old
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
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 baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Old
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Old?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NN6 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
