About our bath re-enamelling in Sneinton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sneinton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Sneinton
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Nottingham.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sneinton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Sneinton?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
