Bath Re-enamelling for Trimstone homes
Bath re-enamelling across Trimstone and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trimstone
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trimstone as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trimstone. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Do you work in Trimstone?

Can pets and children be at home?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Trimstone
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
