After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Down Field

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Down Field use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Down Field questions

Do you cover Down Field?

We do. We send a technician to Down Field for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Common problems we fix in Down Field

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price
