How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Town
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. 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.

What affects the price in Old Town
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
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 quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CR0 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Old Town?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Town?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Questions from Old Town
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work in Old Town?
We do. We send a technician to Old Town for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
