Questions from Anthill Common
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Anthill Common?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Anthill Common, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Anthill Common and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Anthill Common
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
