Bath Re-enamelling for Penn Hill homes
Problem with your bath in Penn Hill? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath re-enamelling in Penn Hill without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Penn Hill
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penn Hill?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penn Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
