Bath Re-enamelling for Bankend homes
Bath re-enamelling in Bankend without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bankend

When to call us in Bankend
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
FAQs for Bankend
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bankend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bankend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
