Bath Re-enamelling in Clampits
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Clampits and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clampits
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
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.

Clampits: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you cover Clampits?
We do. We send a technician to Clampits for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace in Clampits?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Clampits
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
