Bath Re-enamelling in Downley
Damaged bath in Downley? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Downley without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Downley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Downley
Do the materials smell?

Repair or replace in Downley?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350.
