Bath re-enamelling in Trekenning, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trekenning as everywhere else we work.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trekenning
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Trekenning
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trekenning. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Trekenning questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Trekenning?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trekenning for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
