Bath re-enamelling in Peterchurch, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What we’re called out for in Peterchurch
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common questions in Peterchurch
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
