DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath re-enamelling in Copythorne
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Copythorne
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Copythorne questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Copythorne. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
