How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Town
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Town
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 frequently lifts.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Old Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
