Bath re-enamelling at your home in Babbington
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: 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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
