Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tilty
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. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Tilty, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Questions from Tilty
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
