Bath re-enamelling in Tilery, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Tilery
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Tilery and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Tilery
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Tilery
Tilery: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Middlesbrough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Tilery
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Tilery contact us include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
