Bath re-enamelling in Snelland, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Snelland get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What else we do in Snelland
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Snelland
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
