Bath re-enamelling at your home in Covington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area 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 sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business

Covington questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Landlord and trade work in Covington
If you manage property in Covington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Covington?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
