Bath re-enamelling in West Bank without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in West Bank
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Bank. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in West Bank and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for West Bank
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.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Bank?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
