Bath re-enamelling in Childwick Green without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Childwick Green, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Childwick Green
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Childwick Green?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repairing versus replacing in Childwick Green
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
