What your bath is made of matters

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Bath re-enamelling in Quayside without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Quayside
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we’re called out for in Quayside
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Quayside
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
