Bath re-enamelling in Reiss without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Reiss. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Reiss
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
