About our bath re-enamelling in Bickington
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bickington?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Bickington questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickington
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Bickington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Bickington
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
