Bath Re-enamelling in Cann Common
Local bath re-enamelling for Cann Common: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cann Common
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Cann Common
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
