- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What else we do in Calvert
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Calvert
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Calvert
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Repairing versus replacing in Calvert
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
