About our bath re-enamelling in Tarlton
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 basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Tarlton
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Tarlton
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tarlton.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
