What we are called out for in Tolgullow
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Bath re-enamelling in Tolgullow without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in Tolgullow
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tolgullow. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Tolgullow: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
