Bath re-enamelling at your home in Salem
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace in Salem?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Salem. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Salem
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
