About our bath re-enamelling in Byford
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Byford
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Byford. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Byford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
