Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath re-enamelling in Springfield, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Other services in Springfield
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Springfield
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Springfield get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Advice
Springfield: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we are called out for in Springfield
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
