How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sawley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Sawley questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Sawley
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sawley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, 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 to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
