Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Tonge without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tonge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tonge
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
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.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Questions from Tonge
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Tonge.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
