About our bath re-enamelling in Penkridge
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Penkridge
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Penkridge questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What else we do in Penkridge
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
