About our bath re-enamelling in Smith's Green
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.

Smith's Green: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CM6 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smith's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Smith's Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
