About our bath re-enamelling in Philham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Philham?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Philham: your questions answered
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
