Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling in Downham, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, 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 basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Downham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Downham
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Downham?
We do. Technicians travel to Downham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Downham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
