Bath Re-enamelling in Primrose
Bath re-enamelling for Primrose, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Primrose without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Primrose
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Primrose. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
