About our bath re-enamelling in Bures Green
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What we are called out for in Bures Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Bures Green questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bures Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bures Green. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
