About our bath re-enamelling in Powfoot
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Powfoot?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repairing versus replacing in Powfoot
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Powfoot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Common questions in Powfoot
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
