Bath re-enamelling in Press without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Press
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you come to Press?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Press. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
