About our bath re-enamelling in Catlow
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Catlow
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Landlord and trade work in Catlow
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
