How we handle bath re-enamelling in Down End
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Down End questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Down End?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA6 postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Down End
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
If you’re in Down End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
