About our bath re-enamelling in West Barns
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing

FAQs for West Barns
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in West Barns?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Barns for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
