About our bath re-enamelling in Bredon
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Bredon
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Bredon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Common questions in Bredon
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bredon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Bredon
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Bredon
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
