How we handle bath re-enamelling in Overton
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Overton?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, 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 us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Overton
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Overton?
We do. Technicians travel to Overton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
