How we handle bath re-enamelling in Compton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Compton questions
Do you cover Compton?
We do. We send a technician to Compton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Compton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What we’re called out for in Compton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Compton. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Compton is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we work. Our jobs stretch from Compton to London (about 50 miles away).

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
