Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling in Backbower, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Materials we work on in Backbower
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Backbower. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures

Backbower: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work in Backbower?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Backbower for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
