- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

Bath re-enamelling in Covenham St Mary without replacing anything
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 Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Covenham St Mary
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
