- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brampton Ash
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brampton Ash

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Common questions in Brampton Ash
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brampton Ash.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
