Bath re-enamelling in Pin Mill without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pin Mill questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
Are there extra charges for Pin Mill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When to call us in Pin Mill
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Pin Mill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
