Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bucknell
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
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.

When to call us in Bucknell
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bucknell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Bucknell
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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 check it carefully.

What else we do in Bucknell
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Bucknell
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
