About our bath re-enamelling in Caversham Heights
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Caversham Heights
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Caversham Heights questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Caversham Heights?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Caversham Heights from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Caversham Heights
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caversham Heights
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caversham Heights as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
