About our bath re-enamelling in Pipehouse
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pipehouse. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
