- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ovenden Wood
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Repair or replace in Ovenden Wood?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ovenden Wood
- Pressed steel baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
