Bath re-enamelling in Bickingcott, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Bickingcott
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 entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Bickingcott
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What we’re called out for in Bickingcott
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Bickingcott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
