The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Caversham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Caversham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

What else we do in Caversham
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caversham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
