Bath re-enamelling in Slack Head, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slack Head use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we are called out for in Slack Head
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What else we do in Slack Head
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
If you are in Slack Head 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
