Bath re-enamelling in Powderhall without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Powderhall?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Powderhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Powderhall?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Powderhall
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
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 do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
