Bath re-enamelling in Sawley, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sawley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sawley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Sawley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Sawley questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
