Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pattishall
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
FAQs for Pattishall
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Common problems we fix in Pattishall
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Pattishall contact us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether the price covers travel

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
