About our bath re-enamelling in Smithstone
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Smithstone
Are there extra charges for Smithstone?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Smithstone included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
