Bath Re-enamelling in Smallridge
Bath re-enamelling across Smallridge and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smallridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Smallridge
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Smallridge questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Smallridge clients choose us

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
