Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bar End
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise 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.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bar End questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bar End?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SO23 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bar End. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Bar End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
