About our bath re-enamelling in Tidnor
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Tidnor
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Tidnor?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tidnor
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
