Bath re-enamelling in Tapton, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tapton as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S41 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Tapton questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tapton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Tapton
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Tapton contact us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
