About our bath re-enamelling in Akeley
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Akeley
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Akeley
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

What affects the price in Akeley
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Akeley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Akeley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Akeley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Akeley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
