Bath re-enamelling in East Guldeford without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in East Guldeford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for East Guldeford. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in East Guldeford

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from East Guldeford
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover East Guldeford?
We do. We send a technician to East Guldeford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
