What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Church End without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Church End
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work in Church End?
We do. We send a technician to Church End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Church End?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
The process
From the moment we arrive, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
