About our bath re-enamelling in Warham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Warham
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What else we do in Warham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Warham?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Warham
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Warham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Warham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
