Bath re-enamelling in Backford Cross without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Backford Cross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backford Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions from Backford Cross
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
