Bath Re-enamelling in Bastwell
Bath re-enamelling across Bastwell and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bath re-enamelling in Bastwell without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BB1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bastwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bastwell
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Bastwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bastwell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we’re called out for in Bastwell
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
