Bath Re-enamelling in Salt
We travel to Salt for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Salt
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Somewhere as small as Salt, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Bath re-enamelling in place avoids all of that.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead. Somewhere as small as Salt, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Salt
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Rented homes near Stafford station (about 3.8 miles south-west) change hands frequently, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
