What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling in Seaton without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Seaton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Seaton: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
