Bath Re-enamelling in Anslow
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Anslow and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath re-enamelling in Anslow, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through

What we’re called out for in Anslow
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Anslow
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
