Bath re-enamelling in Redtye, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Redtye, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Redtye
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
