How we handle bath re-enamelling in Temple End
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Temple End
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Temple End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What affects the price in Temple End
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Temple End. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Temple End
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
