Bath re-enamelling in Springwell without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Springwell as everywhere else we work.

- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Springwell questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Springwell?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What else we do in Springwell
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
