Bath re-enamelling at your home in Unthank
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Unthank
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
FAQs for Unthank
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
