Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cores End, Buckinghamshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Cores End, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cores End
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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

- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Cores End
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Cores End?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
