Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Drayton St Leonard. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in Drayton St Leonard
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Drayton St Leonard. What changes the price is:

- Something in shot to show the size

Common problems we fix in Drayton St Leonard
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Other services in Drayton St Leonard
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Drayton St Leonard
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
