Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penny Bridge
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Penny Bridge
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Penny Bridge questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Penny Bridge?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
