Bath re-enamelling in Snittongate without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Snittongate. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Other services in Snittongate
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Snittongate
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Snittongate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
