Bath re-enamelling in Tinhay, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Tinhay
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, 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.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
