Bath re-enamelling in Callow, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Callow
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Callow
If you manage property in Callow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Callow?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Callow questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Callow?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
