Repair or replace in Trent?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Trent, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Trent

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Trent
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you come to Trent?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Trent and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
