Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bulstrode
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bulstrode. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Bulstrode
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Landlord and trade work in Bulstrode
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bulstrode use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bulstrode?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
