Bath Re-enamelling for Tottington homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Tottington: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath re-enamelling in Tottington
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Tottington: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Tottington?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Tottington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
