Bath re-enamelling at your home in Beaford
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Beaford
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Beaford?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace in Beaford?

For anyone letting property in or around Beaford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beaford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Beaford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Beaford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
