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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tondu
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Tondu
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
