Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Withersfield
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Withersfield and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
