Bath re-enamelling in Buckingham without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Buckingham
Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Buckingham included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Buckingham
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Buckingham
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
