Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Queen Street
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Queen Street, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Queen Street?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
