About our bath re-enamelling in Overton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Overton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Overton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
FAQs for Overton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Overton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Overton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
