When to call us in Abbeytown
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Bath re-enamelling in Abbeytown without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Abbeytown
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace in Abbeytown?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Abbeytown: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
