Bath re-enamelling in Rock-a-Nore without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Rock-a-Nore, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What affects the price in Rock-a-Nore
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
