What affects the price in Ellington
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Ellington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Ellington without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ellington as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Ellington
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Ellington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ellington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we’re called out for in Ellington
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
