Bath re-enamelling at your home in Babworth
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Babworth. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not 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.
Advice
When to call us in Babworth
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Babworth
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Babworth
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Babworth?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Babworth clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Babworth
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
