How we handle bath re-enamelling in Buttington
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Buttington
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Buttington. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Common questions in Buttington
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Buttington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Buttington and the rest of Powys. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Buttington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Buttington?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
