Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pelaw
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. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pelaw
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pelaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
