Bath re-enamelling in California, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to California. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for California. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in California, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 will not last.
Our work in California
California is about 1 mile south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there is no waiting around. California is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 38 miles away.
We work across the HP21, HP20 and HP19 postcode area and the streets around it. Jobs here include addresses on Lee Road, Penn Road and Eaton Road. Main roads around California include the A41 and A418, which makes travel easy. Nearby, we also work in Aylesbury (1 mile north), Walton (1 mile east), Queens Park (1 mile east), Southcourt (1 mile south) and New Zealand (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as High Wycombe (13 miles south), Chesham (11 miles south-east), Buckingham (15 miles north-west), Amersham (13 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (6 miles south) and Haddenham (6 miles south-west).
Landmarks near California

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Most customers in California get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in California
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in California contact us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- Whether they match the colour on site
