About our bath re-enamelling in Tiptoe
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Tiptoe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiptoe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Tiptoe
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
What else we do in Tiptoe
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tiptoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tiptoe
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
