Bath Re-enamelling in Butler's Hill
Problem with your bath in Butler's Hill? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Butler's Hill
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
If you are in Butler's Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What affects the price in Butler's Hill
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most customers in Butler's Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Repair or replace in Butler's Hill?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, 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.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Butler's Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
