About our bath re-enamelling in Veensgarth
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Veensgarth
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Veensgarth
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
