If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Billingford
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Billingford
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Billingford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
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. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Billingford
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Billingford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
