How we handle bath re-enamelling in Warthill
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Warthill
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?

Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
