How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
