About our bath re-enamelling in Overton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Overton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Overton questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Overton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WA6 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
