Bath re-enamelling in Torness, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Torness: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Torness
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Torness
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
