Bath re-enamelling at your home in Snelston
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Snelston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Snelston?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Snelston questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
