Bath re-enamelling at your home in The Fence
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in The Fence
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why The Fence clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
