Bath re-enamelling in Orton without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Orton
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Orton: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When to call us in Orton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
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 a new finish makes them look new again.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
