Bath re-enamelling in Cardington, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cardington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Cardington questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
