Bath Re-enamelling for Spital Tongues homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Spital Tongues, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Spital Tongues
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Spital Tongues
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
