DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tansterne
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tansterne. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Tansterne questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tansterne
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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 until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Tansterne customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
