Will it make a mess?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Calthorpe
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Calthorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Calthorpe
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Calthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Calthorpe clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Calthorpe
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
