About our bath re-enamelling in Ayot St Lawrence
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Ayot St Lawrence
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ayot St Lawrence. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ayot St Lawrence. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How do I book?
