Bath re-enamelling in Trelights, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Trelights. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Trelights and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Trelights
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Trelights?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What we’re called out for in Trelights
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Trelights

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most clients in Trelights get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelights
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Trelights, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
