Bath Re-enamelling for Bobbing homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Bobbing: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down 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 look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Bobbing
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Bobbing contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Bobbing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
