Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eighton Banks

Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
What affects the price in Eighton Banks
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Eighton Banks, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Eighton Banks
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
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.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
