Bath re-enamelling at your home in Undercliffe
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Undercliffe as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Undercliffe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

When to call us in Undercliffe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Common questions in Undercliffe
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Undercliffe. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
