Bath re-enamelling in West Hill, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Hill
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
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 check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
