Bath re-enamelling in Throwley Forstal, done in place
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 work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Throwley Forstal. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
