Bath re-enamelling in Arborfield without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Arborfield
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Arborfield
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover Arborfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Arborfield and the rest of Reading. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arborfield. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Arborfield get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
