Bath re-enamelling in Pentlow, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pentlow
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
